Custom Dentures

Bloomsburg and Danville PA

Dentures are one of the most popular and proven options to replace missing teeth. The restorative dentists at Hamilton Dental Care can design custom dentures that improve your ability to eat and chew while also restoring your smile.

How are custom dentures different from regular dentures?

Custom dentures are more natural looking than traditional dentures. They can be matched to fit the shape and color of your remaining natural teeth, as well as the color of your gums. Although traditional dentures, known as “budget dentures” replace your missing teeth, often patients are unhappy with the results because they are uncomfortable and look unnatural.

Custom dentures are made of top-quality material. Each set of custom dentures is custom made. First, we will take impressions of your mouth and bite. These impressions will be used to make a model that is used to hand-craft your dentures to provide you with the most comfortable fit, and a beautiful smile. Also, working from the model helps ensure that we achieve the ideal bite alignment.

Missing teeth can cause significant problems

Living with missing teeth makes a person self-conscious about his or her appearance. The issues that can be caused by lost teeth go far beyond that, however.

Missing teeth make it difficult to chew food and eat. It also can cause malocclusion, or bite misalignment, from a collapsed bite, and lead to premature aging. If no restorative procedure is performed, prolonged absence of teeth can have a negative effect on your facial bones and jaw joints.

Living with lost teeth also increases your likelihood of developing other oral health issues such as TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder), and sleep breathing disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea.
